Till We Meet Again

My beautiful grandma passed away today and is now free from the pains of her earthly body. She can now remember all of her family and friends and the beautiful memories she has with each of us. I can only imagine the reunion she is having with her loved ones. She was big into geneology and temple work. There will be alot of grateful and happy people to see her and embrace her.

I have so many wonderful and fun memories of her. Sleepovers where she would braid my hair, the slippers she would knit for us each christmas, the toilet paper she wrapped around her hair each night before bed so that it didn't mess up her hair, the walks to the park to play, birthday shopping, BBQ's at grandma's house, she always came to everything I did whether big or small, she was big into temple work and took us to do baptisms for the dead as soon as we turned 12, she was always trying to connect people through geneology which made it hard to date because grandma was always trying to find a way that you were related, she believed everything you told her even if it was far fetched, she was so proud of her grandkids and took every opportunity to introduce them to everyone she knew, she loved to take us to wheeler farm, she made the best homemade ice cream (grape nut being her specialty), she loved her family and friends unconditionally.

I am going to miss her terribly, but I know she will always be close by because grandma doesn't miss anything. She was always at every event. She loved to be around her family.

I love you grandma and will miss you till we meet again.

Dearest Sarah,
That was beautiful. I loved reading about your Grandma and learning about what a great person she is and was. Now I know why you are such a wonderful person. You were born of goodly parents and a grandma who loves you so. Now she can watch over you from heaven above and feel & experience great joy in seeing all of the comings & goings of your sweet family. She will now be your guardian angel and will watch over Milan, Carson, Ethan, and Payton. I am sure there will be times when you hear her voice or her laughter and remember again the special moments that you shared. What a joyous time for grandma and all those who love her. Thinking of you during this time....Anita
